This annual storytelling event features a unique collection and representation of experiences and coming out stories authored and performed by people in our community who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community or as straight or cisgender allies. It is a raw, inspiring, transformative, and intimate live event.

These stories include unique backgrounds and perspectives as well as periods of time—from people who came out this year to yesteryear. These stories run the gamut — humorous, poignant, serious, heartbreaking, embarrassing, creative, painful and hopeful. To learn more about the Coming Out Monologues, click here.

Since 2014, the LGBTQ+ Pride Center at Texas A&M has celebrated LGBTQ+ Aggies and their allies at a Lavender Graduation ceremony held in their spring. The spring ceremony honors those graduating from Texas A&M University in the spring, summer, or fall of the current calendar year.

The Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) Let’s Talk program at the LGBTQ+ Pride Center provides LGBTQ+ students with a space to discuss issues of sexuality, gender identity, intersecting identities (e.g., race/ethnicity, citizenship status, religion, etc.), and other stressors (e.g., family, finances, relationships, etc.), as these concerns can impact student mental health and academic achievement.

Let’s Talk is an outreach initiative that meets and engages students in conversation in an environment that feels safe and empowering to them. Students can meet one-on-one with a counselor for brief, informal, and confidential consultations. If a student visits Let’s Talk and they require additional support, such as crisis services or counseling, or if they would benefit from additional CAPS services, the student will be referred to CAPS for further assessment, support and linkage to the appropriate services.

Let's Talk is held every Monday from 1 - 3 p.m. at the LGBTQ+ Pride Center in the Student Services Building, Room 210.

At the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters, the Pride Center staff hosts an open house. All students, staff, and faculty are invited to visit the center's space, learn about center programs, hear about resources, enjoy snacks and hang with friends! Come check out the center in SSB 210.

Late Night is an after-hours program that started in the fall of 2021. Late Night promotes community-building by connecting students in a social setting. Previous Late Night events have consisted of games night, crafting, and other activities. Late Night is held in the Pride Center on the second floor of the Student Services Building.

The purpose of Pride Mentors is to offer support and guidance to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning students at Texas A&M.  Students have the opportunity to select a mentor of their choice based on academic and professional interests as well as personal interests and will meet with their mentor approximately once a month. Conversations between mentor and mentee can cover a range of topics including career and academic goals, relationships and family problems, transitioning to college, gender and sexuality, and LGBT issues that arise in collegiate and professional settings. For more information, please click here.

Each fall, the center hosts organizations from the campus and Bryan/College Station community that support and provide services to the LGBTQ+ community. The Rainbow Resource Fair is designed to connect new and returning students to organizations that will help them persist and thrive while they are at Texas A&M. Students have the opportunity to connect with over 30 organizations while enjoying refreshments and getting to know their peers.

Transgender Day of Remembrance is observed annually on November 20 to honor the memory of individuals who were killed due to anti-transgender violence.
